I will leave my original review up so you can understand why we returned. My first experience was so positive that I gathered some friends to return and what a disappointment. From the moment we arrived it was a terrible, terrible experience.From the way we were poorly greeted, to all dishes being barely warm, and pretty bland, it was like a totally different restaurant. Yet the price was super steep so for that reason I would no longer recommend Dorsia. We did share with management our genuine disappointment so hopefully they can level back up .. in the meantime, there are too many other amazing places to eat in Montreal! An incredible evening and meal! This restaurant delivers on all fronts, chic ambiance, attentive staff, superb cocktails (especially the limencello martini), and incredible food! Not a surprise that they are en route to a Michelin Star. Well deserved!

Great meal at Dorsia. Love the environment and the service is really good my only suggestion is to be faster coming around to ask if guests want their bill, we waited a loong time for ours.

The atmosphere was nice. The food was really good , however the service was a bit slow. We had to wait almost an hour for our main. I would recommend to try the tiramisu dessert for sure!

Phenomenal dining experience. Refined yet relaxed atmosphere and decor. Server Guillaume was the best waiter I have had in a restaurant, very attentive and knowledgeable. Food was exceptional. Delicious variety of appetizers (I recommend the Mille fueille with chicken liver mousse) and pasta. Both seafood and steaks were cooked and seasoned excellently. Cocktails were very good as well, with a broad selection of wine, my personal favorite was the Negroni with olives. Dessert left much to be desired was our only gripe with this other excellent restaurant. Bathrooms and facilities were also in notably great condition. This was one of the best dining experiences all around I've ever had. This restaurant alone can make a trip to Montreal worth it.

Had a good experience at Dorsia. Heard a lot about it and was happy to try it out. First of all - the place is truly beautiful, well designed and tasteful layout. The service was good. We tried a few different dishes. The highlight was the red beet agnolotti and tuna carpaccio were standout dishes: unique presentation, texture and flavours.

Yummy yummy food, wine and cocktails, too bad they made us feel rushed during the meal because we had to free the table for the next group. Server tried pulling my plate away before I even finished. Long wait between services.
